This isn't what he'd been expecting... but neither is it all that surprising. Not to him. Not given where he comes from. He's looked on more fresh graves than he can remember--sometimes he thinks there are more dead in his world than in this one.
But that doesn't stop a dreadful heaviness settling over him, because these aren't just any graves. They belong, he's beginning to realize, to people who were here. And they're certainly not just any graves to the person who had invited him to "meet" them. Replaying their conversation in his head adds a dismal new context to everything.]
